■ The irradiation should not exceed the minimal erythema dose (MED). If ery-
		GB
thema (skin redness) occurs several hours after irradiation there should be no
further applications made. In this case, the next irradiation should not take		IE
place before one week after the date of the skin redness.

■If unexpected side e ects such as itching occur within 48 hours after the first application of the UV appliance, you should consult a doctor before receiving further UV irradiation.

■Recommended irradiation timetable, stating the time-period and intervals.

■The appliance may not be used if the timer is not working properly.

■Use only lamps of the specified type. The use of a UV lamp from another manufacturer or of a di erent type will lead to the revocation of the warranty.

■UV radiation from the sun or from UV appliances can cause both skin and eye damage, which may be irreversible. These biological e ects depend on the quality and quantity of the radiation and on the skin and eye sensitivity of the individual person.

■The skin can su er from sunburn after excessive exposure to radiation. Too frequent UV radiation from the sun or UV appliances can lead to premature skin aging and cause an increased risk of skin cancer. This risk increases with increasingly cumulative UV exposures. UV radiation at a young age increases the subsequent risk of skin cancer.

■UV radiation can lead to injuries to the eyes and skin, such as premature skin aging and even skin cancer. Read these operating instructions carefully. Some medications or cosmetics increase the sensitivity to UV radiation.

■The unprotected eye can su er superficial inflammation and, in some cases, excessive exposure may cause damage to the retina. Frequently repeated exposures can lead to cataracts.

■In the event of individually identified sensitivity or allergic reactions to UV radiation, you should first seek medical advice before beginning the irradiation.

■Certain ailments or the side e ects of certain drugs may be exacerbated by UV irradiation. If in doubt, consult your doctor.

■There should be a period of at least 48 hours between the first two exposures.

NOTICE

►If you use a too small nail tip o, it can break o more easily. Therefore, select a larger nail tip o and then file the sides into the desired form.

Repeat the above described process until you have trimmed all the nails to the desired length and filed them into shape.

Attaching artificial nails

NOTICE

►Take note that nails absorb moisture from contact with water. The nails, however, must be completely dry before the application.

►Before the application, refrain from using any hand creams or the like, because, to make possible the optimal adhesion of the nail tips o the nail surfaces must be completely free from greases.

Push the cuticle back with the cuticle pusher w and then remove the transparent skin from the nail plate of your finger.

Now treat the nail surface with the sanding block r until the fingernail is no longer shiny.

Remove the sanding dust with a paper towel.

Rub the nails with the finishing solution p so that the last remnants of dust and grease are removed.

18

SNS 45 A1

			GB
NOTICE
► Under no circumstance should you now touch the nail surfaces with your			IE
fingers, if you do, they will become greasy again and this will prevent a
good bonding!

Apply a small drop of nail glue a to the lower part of the nail tip o and distribute it with the aid of the nail glue bottle a on the lower surface. Hold the nail tip o down so that the nail glue a cannot run onto the upper part of the nail tip o.

a

NOTICE

►Before the first use you must puncture the bottle of nail glue a with a pointed object, such as a needle. If, at a later date, the bottle of nail glue a has become blocked, it can again be opened for use with a needle.

Now place the nail tip oat an angle on the natural nail, so that the predetermined edge of the nail tip o lies on the edge of the natural nail.

Now tilt the nail tip o with gentle pressure onto the natural nail, so that potential air bubbles are squeezed out .

o

NOTICE

► Wipe excess nail glue a o with a cotton swab or a paper towel.

SNS 45 A1

19

GB

IE

Hold the nail tip o firmly for 10-12 seconds and, at the same time, press it down with su cient pressure onto the natural nail. Ensure that no air bubbles are formed and that the tip is glued on perfectly straight.

NOTICE

►There may no longer be a gap under the nail, so that dirt cannot penetrate.

►Ensure that no air bubbles or white spots form under the nail tip o. In this case, take the nail tip o o immediately and lay it back on again.

When you have glued all of the artificial nails o on, trim them to the desired length with the nail clippers q. Press the nail clippers q together in one squeeze. If you press too slowly, it may happen that the nail tips o splitter.

q

File them into shape with the sand sheet file i.

NOTICE

►File very carefully, because the nail tips o are held only with a nail glue a.

►If you are not used to long nails, cut them back a little in order to avoid knocks and the falling o of the nail tips o.

20

SNS 45 A1

Matching a nail set

Carefully file the transitions from the artificial nails o to the natural nails with the Sand sheet file iuntil they conform to the contour of the natural nail. File only the nail tips o! Do not damage your natural nail.

Carefullly file the sides of the nail with the Sand sheet file i until it is straight and does not exhibit a "wing".

Repeat this step for each individual nail.

Application of the UV-Gel

Using the brush e, take a small amount of UV Gel s and then wipe the excess on one side of the brush e o on the edge the UV Gel pot.

Apply a thin coating of UV-Gel s onto the complete nail. Apply a little more UV Gel s to the lower part of the nail, as hereby is how the o set between the natural and the artificial nail is created. Furthermore, the transition from natural to artificial nails is especially sensitive to pressure and knocks, thus more UV Gel s must be applied here.

INFORMATION

►When you are doing the application do not press too heavily on the brush e, since the brush e could otherwise cause streaking.

►Model the first layer of the UV Gel s very carefully, as this determines the future shape of the nail. Model the best possible natural nail shape.

Maintain a distance of about 1 mm from the cuticle during the application.

NOTICE

►Should any UV Gel s inadvertantly come onto the cuticle or the nail bed, remove it before the hardening, for example, with a cotton wool swab.

Repeat the above process for all nails.

e

o

NOTICE

► Ensure that the nail is covered evenly with UV Gel s.

Hardening of the UV-Gel			GB
	NOTICE		IE

►See also the chapter Handling and operation.

Switch the UV appliance 1 on with the On/O switch 2.

Press the Start button 0; the UV Lamps will be switched on.

Now select the desired treatment time and then press the appropriate time preselect button 9, 7 or 5. For the first hardening we recommend the time setting of 180 seconds.

Hold your hand with the nails upward for the duration of the set treatment time in the opening of the UV appliance 1.

Treat the thumbnail separately because, when you hold your hand in the UV unit, the UV light only shines on the side of it.

Repeat the application of the UV Gel s and the hardening in the UV appliance 1 as described above once more.

NOTICE

►After the expiry of the preselected treatment time the UV lamps are switched o automatically.

►The Start button 0 and a time preselect button (9, 7 or 5) must be activated again for each new treatment.

Examine each nail, after the application and hardening of all coatings, for unevenness, small scratches or ridges.

If you discover unevenness, apply a further thin layer of UV Gel s and harden the nail with the setting of 120 seconds or 90 seconds (depending on the amount of applied UV Gel s).

SNS 45 A1

23

GB

IE

Even after the last hardening of the Gel layer, the nails may feel a feel sticky ("sweat-layer" or polymerization layer).

Moisten a cottonwool ball or paper towel with finishing solution p and wipe it over the nail.

Afterwards, delustre each nail with the sanding block r.

Finally, using the polishing files u, zand t, polish each individual nail until the nail surface is shiny.

24

SNS 45 A1

Topping up

NOTICE

►Because the natural nail grows, over time the attachment of the artificial nail o can raise itself. For this reason the gap between the cuticle and the nail attachment must be topped up from time to time.

►A topping up is required about every 2 - 3 weeks.

Using the sand sheet file i, file around the attachments of the hardened gel.

Use the sanding block r until the nail is no longer shiny.

When done, reapply UV Gel s and harden it again.
